About Simonee

Simonee began practicing yoga nearly 20 years ago in the hot room with Bikram Yoga. Her Bikram studio was the first to transition to Moksha Yoga in Canada, now known as Modo Yoga in the U.S. Upon its creation, under the teachings of co-founders Jessica Robertson and Ted Grand, she immediately felt a sense of home in the Moksha/Modo community of teachers and students committed to self-expression, inclusiveness and growth.

Simonee did her first 500-hour teacher training in 2011. Since that time she’s remained curious and committed to being a life long student,continuing to build on her love for yoga by exploring subsequent teacher trainings in Yin, Vinyasa and Yoga therapy. ​When not in the hot room, Simonee “loves to love” all animals and even has an Instagram page called Animals I Meet. She’s also an extremely talented filmmaker who writes, directs, and produces film and television projects.

Simonee is a born leader: intuitive, creative and driven, easily combining the skills and creativity of her filmmaking with those of her teaching techniques. She sees a lot of similarities between the two worlds: both have a vision and a narrative, guided by a leader and realized by a group, communicating ideas to the world.
